Manx Poets
Manx poets, writers and musicians have all drawn on the distinctive images, language and 'dark sentiments' ingrained by our ancestors, most notably the Manx National Poet T.E.BROWN (1830-1897) who was widely regarded as one of the finest poets of the Victorian age, famous for evoking the lives of the ordinary people, farmers and fishermen of his homeland. His strongly dialectal work is best read aloud and he would probably be intrigued by the current renaissance of poetry at 'poetry and pints' evenings
